After two years, the LIMES consortium is proud to introduce the actual version of LIMES-Mobile for Android to you!

The developed information system LIMES-Mobile with the different apps includes

A native App LIMES-Mobile for Android,

A web-based App LIMES-Mobile for all operating systems,

LIMES-Mobile content in the apps LayAr, Wikitude and Junaio.

A special highlight is the app LIMES-Mobile3D, available for AR-Browser LayAr, Junaio und Wikitude: experience the life at the Limes, where you can discover 3D-watchtowers and see roman soldiers via augmented reality. At the moment there are three sites in Rhineland-Palatinate, Lower Austria and Ruse which offer 3D-contents. (In order to use the 3D-contents you need to be close to the following sites):

Limes fort Pohl (Germany

Römerwelt Rheinbrohl (Germany

Roman Fort Holzhausen (Germany)

Sexaginta Prista (Bulgaria)

Svishtov (Bulgaria)

Archeological Park Carnuntum (Austria)

The app was finally launched on GooglePlay. Just go in your GooglePlay store and download the app.

Today the project i-SCOPE “interoperable Smart
City services through an Open Platform for urban Ecosystems” has started their
activities.

Brussels, Jan. 23, 2012. The project i-SCOPE has been officially launched
during a kick-off meeting in Brussels. The project, which is being funded by
the ICT-PSP, plans to develop and test technologies for so-called smart cities services
based on interoperable 3D Urban Information Models (UIM).

Today 3D Urban Information
Models (UIM) are created from accurate urban-scale geospatial information, and can
be used to create smart web services based on geometric, semantic,
morphological and structural information at urban scale level, which can be
used by local governments to:

-Improve decision-making on issues related to urban planning, city
management, environmental protection and energy consumption based on urban
pattern and its morphology;

-Promote inclusion among various users groups (e.g. elder or diversely
able citizens) through services which account for barriers at city level;

-Involve citizens at wider scale by collecting geo-referenced information
based on location-based services at urban scale.

Based on interoperable 3D UIMs, i-SCOPE
delivers an open platform on top of which it develops, within different
domains, three ‘smart city’ services.
These will be piloted and validated in a number of EU cities which will be
actively engaged throughout the project lifecycle. The services will address:

1)Improved inclusion and personal mobility of aging and diversely able
citizens through an accurate city-level disable-friendly
personal routingservice
which accounts for detailed urban layout, features and barriers.

2)Optimization of energy consumption through a service foraccurate
assessment of solar energy potential at building level.

3)Environmental monitoring through a real-time
environmental noise mapping service leveraging citizen’s involvement
will who act as distributed sensors city-wide measuring noise levels through
their mobile phones.

Potential trust, privacy, data
security risks and vulnerabilities, i.e. due to the localisation of people, are
integral part of the project and will be explicitly addressed.

The project will be based
on already available technologies that will be integrated, deployed and made
publicly available from a “3D smart EU cities” portal.

In October 2013, the implementation of a first functional prototype of the ARGUS system was ready to be tested and evaluated.

For this the ARGUS team met up in Soest, Germany with a selected group of users.

One of the most important and remarkable facts was the participation of a young female student of the LWL Berufskolleg in the user tests who told the interviewers that she normally never goes outside without assistance, but with the help of the ARGUS system, she expected a higher level of safety and independence for her future life.

The initial results of this testing have been submitted to the European Commission and based on the results of the evaluation, the work will continue refining and completing the development of the ARGUS system.

In the final phase of the project additional efforts will be made to disseminate the project results and prepare for their future exploitation.

On 19 July 2012 CEIT ALANOVA participated in the kick-off for its newest FP7 project Meter-ON.

Meter-ON aims at elaborating a comprehensive set of lessons learned and recommendations in the field of smart metering and Advanced Metering Infrastructures in order to provide decision makers and stakeholders a useful toolbox of both technical and non-technical recommendations to foster the deployment of smart meters in Europe.

At the headquarters of Lead Partner EDSO for Smart Grids in Brussels, 23 representatives of the consortium partners and third parties involved (DSOs – distribution system operators from Europe) gathered together to discuss and start their activities.

“A successful deployment of smart meters is an important basis for reaching the EU energy objectives and reaping the full benefits from the energy market. We are very pleased to coordinate this project, giving distribution system operators, public authorities and regulators a better understanding of the current situation and the way forward”, said Per-Olof Granström, Secretary General of EDSO for Smart Grids.

Between 27-30 March CEIT Alanova participated on behalf of Schwechat Municipality to the CUPA Workshop in Novi Sad, Serbia.The workshop was held within the Donau Hanse Network of Cities, of which Schwechat is part, in order to improve the planning knowledge of cities within the Danube Region.The results of the international workshop were presented to the Mayor in a press conference and here enclosed is one of the articles where the contribution from Daniela Patti, researcher of CEIT Alanova, is mentioned.

After Vienna's ranking as smartest city in the world (http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679127/the-top-10-smart-cities-on-the-planet) CEIT was interviewed by Roxanne Powell from The Vienna Review, due to the involvement on Smart Cities projects also in Collaboration with the city of Vienna (www.iscopeproject.net)
